'They won't last long': The People of Reddit Identify Signs of a Short-Lived Relationship

Not all relationships are meant to last, and that's perfectly fine. In fact, most of these so-called relationships come into our lives to teach us valuable lessons and help us grow as individuals. While it can be heartbreaking for a relationship to end, the best thing you can do for yourself is recognize that it served its purpose and move on to better things. 

Throughout our adult life, we engage in all sorts of relationships, be it romantic, platonic, or professional. And every single one of these connections is an opportunity for us to learn about our needs, our wants, and our personal boundaries. But if we're being completely honest, most of the time we enter relationships with high hopes and grand expectations, only for them to come crumbling down before our eyes. 

That's why it's crucial to refrain from overlooking red flags and clear signs that indicate the relationship won't last long. And that brings us to today's article. We recently stumbled upon a Reddit thread where people discussed all the sings of a short-lived relationship. Have a scroll for yourself and let us know what you think in the comments below!
